Talliympäristön ja koulutusmenetelmän vaikutus hevosten tunnetiloihin [PDF]
Hevosen hyvinvoinnin arviointi on pitkään pohjautunut pelkästään negatiivisten kokemusten ja tunnetilailmaisujen havainnointiin, joita on tutkittu fysiologisten mittareiden, kuten sydämen sykkeen vaihtelun avulla.

Data on litter quality of host grass plants with and without fungal endophytes [PDF]
Certain Pooideae species form persistent symbiosis with fungal endophytes of Epichloë genus. Although endophytes are known to impact the ecology and evolution of host species, their effects on parameters related with quality of plant biomass has been ...

Early and Adult Social Environments Shape Sex-Specific Actuarial Senescence Patterns in a Cooperative Breeder [PDF]
Sociality modulates life-history traits through changes in resource allocation to fitness-related traits. However, how social factors at different stages of the life cycle modulate senescence remains poorly understood.

The Fluctuating Asymmetry of the Butterfly Wing Pattern Does Not Change along an Industrial Pollution Gradient [PDF]
The rapid and selective responses to changes in habitat structure and climate have made butterflies valuable environmental indicators. In this study, we asked whether the decline in butterfly populations near the copper-nickel smelter in Monchegorsk in ...
